System vs Rebirth

After giving Elaine some food, Jessi waited until the heavy rain stopped before leaving Elaine alone.

Because of what she had done, Elaine's will to survive increased. However, her willpower alone wouldn't be enough.

The fatigue had caught up to her. In addition, the cold had become even more severe.

The voice of the people kept ringing in her head, her body became extremely weak, and her breath was unstable.

She looked like she was about to collapse soon. The hot sun couldn't be compared to the hot temperature of her body.

"Ha… Ha…" Elaine panted a few times. Her body started convulsing. Hunger and thirst might not have been a problem anymore, but her consciousness had become fuzzy.

'This is not good. I still have to continue.'

Elaine kept muttering inwardly, trying to persist as much as possible. But after grueling seven days, she passed out.

…

Two hours later.

Elaine opened her eyes, looking an unfamiliar ceiling.

'Mhmm? Aren't I supposed to be looking at the ground?' Elaine thought before snapping. She hurriedly rose from the bed and looked around, realizing that she was inside a house. And Jessi was in front of her, taking care of her. "What…"

"You passed out. Don't move too much for now. Your fever is still severe."

"What have you done? I have to go back! My family is at stake." Elaine tried to jump off the bed, but Jessi stopped her. "At least rest for a bit. It's been seven days, so the lord shouldn't be coming back soon."

Elaine wanted to refute, but the word stuck in her throat. Instead, she changed it into another question. "Why do you help me? Do you know that you'll be in trouble if you help me? I have done a lot of bad things to your territory!"

"It's your family, right? Not you personally." Jessi shook her head helplessly. "Besides, how foolish are you… If you want to repent, you should live on instead of dying. Death is just an escape. If you feel bad for people, you should spend your life making them happy. That's just my own thought… I think the nobles can't understand such a simple thing."

"That's… not true." Elaine bit her lips.

Looking at her grunted expression, Jessi stood up. "I won't stop you from going back, but eat something first."

Jessi went to the back to grab some food, leaving Elaine alone.

Elaine was contemplating. She had looked down on the people because they were uneducated or their lives were cheap. But because of Jessi, she thought she was the one imposing her own ideal on them.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a lot of time to think about it as the outside was bustling with people.

"…coming!"

"The Lord…"

"…coming!"

Elaine couldn't help but hear some voices from the outside. She raised her head, wondering why it suddenly became too noisy.

"The Lord is coming!"
